VERY NICE!! I can't wait to try it with Move after seeing the iWaggle3D video posted the other day. It is FULLY customizable, the deadzone the sensitivity and more.

CONVERT THE UNBELIEVERS!

lociefer4844d ago

Krypto4844d ago

It's like January 2009 all over again... I can't wait!!!!!!!! I'm sooo excited and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. LOL

RedDead4844d ago

So...Can EU users download and play it too? With a Us account of course.

jidery4844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

You will simply see two windows on top of each other with a thin line between them that are slighty off center from each other. The TV can't process that data

ikkeweer4844d ago

@RedDeadDestroyer
Wishing for that aswell, but it's a European Studio (Amsterdam) and I think KZ2 was released in europe first so I don't expect they'll forget us.

Burning_Finger4844d ago

sucks to be poor. :P No 3D for me. :(

StarScream4Ever4844d ago

3D is a fad to me. Don't want to risk my eye just for popups.

GiggMan4844d ago

To each his own... Me personally I can't wait to try this masterpiece in 3D. It's part of the reason I picked up a 3D TV in the first place, the other being I found a great deal and wanted to upgrade my older LG...

Istanbull4844d ago

Maybe you're too poor to buy a 3D tv, I will enjoy this in full stereoscopic 3D!

Klepto4844d ago

@IstanBull

Wow way to be an asshole. Not everyone likes 3D, personally I think if you pay the insane prices for 3D TV's that even in 2D mode don't look as good as a regular LCD or plasma you're foolish.

blackpanther254844d ago (Edited 4844d ago )

@giggman i found a good deal on 3d plasma tv as well only cost me $1300 and it came with two glasses and cloudy monster vs aliens 3d blueray

@edge
I agree with you on some points, but don't knock it until you try it(regarding 3D FPS killzone). When the demo comes and I test it, that is when i will know whether or not it is good for FPS.

edgeofblade4844d ago

3DTV is a fad, or at least the promotion of 3D as being a TV seller. 3D is going to be one of those things that TVs just "have". Like an ethernet jack or a wireless RF remote. It's going to become a non-feature before long... and the average person will finally afford it.

At the same time, do you really want to play an FPS in 3D? Is there a setting for left- or right-sighted, or is the crosshair just going to float between your eyes and you just have to eyeball it? Or is it going to jerk around like a laser, projected on your target?

I'm ok with 3D for certain applications. Racing games? Go right ahead. FPS? Not on your life.

GiggMan4844d ago

@Edge... I will find all that out on Feb 2nd. I'm not knocking it until I try it, which is what most people should do.

StarScream4Ever4844d ago

Really guys? Not all of us wanted a 3DTV in the first place. It's just not that big of the deal to me. I find it a distraction more when playing competitive fps.

edgeofblade4844d ago

@GiggMan: Respectfully, I'll only get to try this if I see it in Best Buy. I've seen the current state of 3D and I don't think it's all that good. I did 3D nearly 5 years ago on my PC with shutter glasses, and the technology hasn't come very far. In fact, it hasn't moved a step. If I were to buy a 3DTV in the next 5 years, it would be one of Vizio's 22 inch passive 3D panels. I might be able to swallow THAT.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia1h ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1d 6h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken1d 2h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 17h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d 5h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken1d 2h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
